Known as the longest wooden bridge in Vietnam, Ong Cop bridge offers travel and photo enthusiasts a spectacular natural scene.

Ong Cop bridge is located in Phu Yen, a coastal province in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. It is the land of beautiful beaches, and other spectacular landscapes such as Ghenh Da Dia (Da Dia reef), O Loan lagoon, Mang Lang stone church, among others.

The bridge was built in 1999 as a shortcut linking villages in the north of An Ninh Tay in Thuy An district with Song Cau town, crossing Binh Ba River. The locals named the bridge “Ong Cop” (Tiger God) as they worship a shrine nearby to cure diseases and drive evil away. With a length of over 800 meters, this is the longest wooden bridge in Vietnam. Wandering on this wooden bridge, visitors can catch the images of the boat men rowing a net, children bathing in the river or hard women cycling across the bridge.

This is not only a daily route of over 1000 families but also a famous tourist destination. Visitors can choose the time of sunrise or sunset to take wonderful pictures of the bridge.
